Growing up in Chicagoland in the late Sixties/very early Seventies, I used to hear a Levis jingle on the radio that I thought was pretty cool. All I remember is this bit:

Over the Dipper  
comes the cosmic zipper.  
Jeans have flies.

I’m sure there were more lyrics, but I can’t remember them or find them on the Net. Nobody I know even remembers such a commercial.

Anyone remember the rest of this jingle?

I’m curious about this as it reminds me of a Levi’s TV commercial that had a goofy, pseudo psychedlic catchy tune. For some unknown (and unforgivable) reason I remember most of the lyrics:

Good morning world  
I’m ready for you -ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou  
Well I’m a wearin’ my Levi’s  
Lee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-vi’s

I’ll be honest, I did not check youtube to see if someone actually captured this.

Update:

lazy me just checked and I actually had the lyircs right before I edited them.

Maybe the OP’s commercial is there too?

Were you able to find this ad on Youtube? I loved that ad (Levi’s used to run it during Saturday morning cartoons), and I’ve tried, and failed, to find it online several times over the past few years.

Alas, I don’t recall the jingle that nelliebly is looking for, however, though it probably dates from the same era.

That sure sounds like a tribute to the Fendermen and [Mule Skinner Blues.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3-mh3vXDA0) Too close to be unintentional.

Some of those other Levi’s commercials from the '70s look like they were produced by Peter Max on acid. Far out, man. 😉

Haw, Haw!

Someone else must have told me that because I searched for Levi’s Muleskinner Ad 🙂
